Objective: To explore the nursing effect of nebulization intervention on patients with sore throat after tracheal intubation general anesthesia. Methods: A total of 80 patients with sore throat after tracheal intubation general anesthesia admitted to our hospital from December 2023 to December 2024 were divided into a control group (40 cases, receiving routine nursing) and a research group (40 cases, receiving nebulization intervention on the basis of the control group) according to the random number table method. The nursing intervention effects of the two groups were compared and analyzed. Results: Compared with before the intervention, half an hour, 1 hour and 2 hours after the intervention, the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores of both groups decreased, and the scores gradually decreased with the extension of the intervention time (P < 0.05). The time for the complete disappearance of throat dryness and foreign body sensation in the research group was shorter than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The total nursing satisfaction rate in the research group was 95.00%, which was higher than 80.00% in the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion: Applying nebulization treatment to patients with sore throat after tracheal intubation general anesthesia can effectively relieve the degree of throat pain, accelerate the disappearance of throat dryness and foreign body sensation, and improve nursing satisfaction, which has clinical reference value.
